Jan 30, 2013 Warming Up Again



Main canyon road on the S-curve



Storm that's dropping up to 4 ft of snow
on the mountains


















On monday morning it was, once again, overcast and 20.  Looked like it was snowing in the mountains to the west.  Blue sky and sun to the south in the late afternoon, so we managed to pull in some power.

I was able to back JB's Jeep right into its parking place with barely any shoveling.  After three days.  Go figure.  Had to put some air in a couple of MAX's tires and discovered a broken cleat.  JB had to carefully remove it without damaging the rubber track.

Got almost all the photos sorted out and put away.  One small box left, but enough is enough for now.

Finally!!  A hockey season!!  Go Black Hawks!

Tuesday: Happy Birthday, Elsie!

Was cloudy and 25 with many of the clouds scurrying across the sky from the northwest.  They soon were gone and we had mostly blue sky for the day with a high of 36.

Drove down to Larry's and Elsie's to drop off her birthday present.  Let their dogs out and gave them a treat.  We gave her a pink T-shirt that says, "As a matter of fact I do shoot like a girl."  And has a target with a hit bulls eye.  Bought myself the matching ball cap.  Oh, Yeah!  It was a great ride but I spaced out and didn't put on any toe or hand warmers.  Hopefully that will never happen again. . .

Will finish the last of the back two rows of firewood in the shed today.  Still have the front two, taller rows to go plus all the wood on the porch.  This year I am going to stack the wood in rows from back to front instead of side to side.  It will mean restacking the wood we don't burn this winter, but will make for easier access to all the wood and the older wood won't get stuck in the back.

Thought for the day:  We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.  It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.  Ronald Reagan
